\name{\cRomeo{}}

The feud has gone on long enough. You had been raised on stories of the monstrous things that the \familyB{} family has done to your family, and had grown up terrified of them. That is until you finally met one of them. \cJuliet{} instead was beautiful and full of life. The two of you found so much in common, but there was little hope of being together with the feud still raging. And so the two of you resolved to bring your families together. Surely, if they meet you and determine that you can be reasonable, it will go a long way to resolving things.

You were born the heir to the noble house of \familyA{}. Your \cPatriarchA{\parent}, \cPatriarchA{}, has always been a wise and proud leader for the family. Your younger \cYounger{\sibling} \cYounger{} has been a great friend to you. Although the two of you were distant for a while after his breakthrough, he has recently begun to show renewed interest in your life. While this is wonderful and you would do much for your brother, it does exacerbate one slight problem---you are not actually a spark.

It's pretty embarrassing actually. Even though you come from a long line of successful builders, you seem to have little talent for it. It killed you to see the tinge of disappointment in your \cPatriarchA{\parent}'s eyes as you struggled to produce anything useful in your lab. It was an embarrassing and frustrating experience. You are not sure what you would have done were it not for \cAssistant{}. \cAssistant{\They} was hired two years ago as one of your lab assistants, but it seems that \cAssistant{\they} really knows what \cAssistant{\they} is doing. With \cAssistant{\their} help, you have managed to begin producing contraptions to meet, or even exceed, your \cPatriarchA{\parent}'s expectations of you. Everything would be perfect if you didn't need to keep the secret to your success a secret.

When the Baron's armies came, you were relieved that they would keep the attacks of the \familyBs{} from attacking you. Now you think that maybe you should have been worrying about keeping your own family in order, for almost as soon as they issued a formal surrender, your family began to plot ways to continue the feud without running afoul of the Baron's edicts. At Wolfenbach's demonstration you met \cJuliet{}. \cJuliet{\Their} beauty and enthusiasm captivated you instantly. In return, \cJuliet{\they} seemed to be excited by what you had to say and showed particular interest in your swarm of remote-control locusts (of \cAssistant{}'s design of course). The two of you talked for hours before realizing that you were on opposite ends of the feud. It was there that you pledged to each other that you would reconcile your two families.

Since that time you have racked your brain for ways to make things work. This accident in Castle Heterodyne might prove just the opportunity that you needed. There is too much at stake for either family to fail to send representatives. Hopefully, the environment of shared danger will let you talk to them and provide common ground for the two sides. You'll just have to bring it up slowly. Your \cPatriarchA{\parent} is very concerned with family honor, and might not take it well if you outright suggest peace without laying some groundwork first.

The Castle will also prove an excellent opportunity to continue to court \cJuliet{}. \cJuliet{\They} seemed very impressed with your inventions, which is somewhat unfortunate, due to them not really being your work. Hopefully, though with \cAssistant{}'s help you should be able to cook up something appropriate, and \cJuliet{} won't really need to know who worked out all the details---the vision will have been yours in any case.
